Chapter 529 My name is John

Mercedes-Benz E-Class didn't move in half an hour, and Zhuo Yang and CoCo kissed in the car and it was dark. Phillips Chapman sat on the kitchen chair and looked sad: he would come back tonight, and he would have to do it anytime for three months.

In and out, alas, why am I so unlucky!

The car finally moved, and Zhuo Yang took CoCo straight to the outskirts of Hanover. He has been here for four years, and Zhuo Yang doesn't know much about where the scenery is picturesque and few people. Today he is going to take CoCo to get to Heinhausen

Not far from the wetlands of HelPostsoon Lake, HerbstSonne, German, autumn sunshine.

"Zhuo Yang, can I give Staxi one to one?"

"Of course, I'll buy you another one."

Zhuo Yang brought two Huawei phones to CoCo from China, with a European version of the ultra-large capacity battery. His phone can't stand the porridge, so is CoCo. If you want to do it well, you must first sharpen your tools and have good equipment.

Only then can you make a pot of good porridge.

There are two girls in the dormitory of Keisman Business School. Starsy is CoCo's roommate and best friend, and even CoCo fans, who are devoted to it. CoCo has a crush on a man, and only Starsy knows that CoCo has finally achieved success.

Staci was also the first person to know. Today and beyond, Staci volunteered to cover CoCo, and would come back to get two meals at noon and then secretly pour one.

Zhuo Yang and CoCo must maintain such a wonderful person, and there are many places to use them. Thinking of this, Zhuo Yang plans to give the fat chef a Huawei product.

.

After a pleasant and pleasant trip, the two had lunch in a quiet German-style restaurant. Zhuo Yang actually came for this restaurant. CoCo, she was really sorry that she couldn't climb over the wall.

Princess, wild.

"Zhuo Yang, do you have an English name?" Zhuo Yang sat on the bench on the porch, leaning against the corner column, CoCo leaned in his arms. Mount Eiffel is clearly visible in the distance, and today's air is as clean as water has been washed.

.

"My English name is Zhuo Yang, Zhuo, Zhuo Yang." He replied.

In fact, Zhuo Yang used to have a special English name, just like every elementary school student.

When I was in the third grade, I had an English course. The English teacher would ask each student to give himself an English name, as if he would not be able to learn English well. Zhuo Yang was staring at the TV after dinner and practiced the piano.

It was a lively view and suddenly remembered that tomorrow the teacher asked everyone for their English name and the well-made name table card.

On TV, he happened to be acting in the animated blockbuster "The Lion King" that he liked to watch very much, so he gave himself the English name of Simba, and Leo Zhuo Yang became the Lion King.

Zhuo Yang's sister Zhuo Qiutian also gave herself an English name when she was in the third grade. Her sister said, "My Chinese name is Qiutian, and her English is spring, so she became Spring in English class (Spring) (

).

There is another interesting thing when it comes to English names.

Not every third-grade primary school student would give himself an English name like Zhuo Yang and his sister because of his family background, and not all parents were as English as Zhuo Tongtong and Yang Hong. In that era, most parents were

If you don’t even recognize the English letters, the teacher will distribute a common English name to these classmates who don’t know how to name them. A boy in the same class as Zhuo Yang was put on Mike, which is very ordinary and very standard English.

name.

However, the father of "Mike" was unwilling to do so. The next day he rushed to the school and questioned the teacher with great dissatisfaction.

‘Mike’s father was a forging worker at a state-owned railway accessories factory. A few years ago, he came out of the rural area of ​​Gan County to take over the retirement of ‘Mike’s grandfather. Succession was the personnel tradition of state-owned enterprises in that era, and the son inherited his father’s business.

'Mike' is 'Maike'. Many people in North China and Northwest should know the word Maike. Every spring when wheat is ripe and harvested, due to geographical and climate differences, wheat will come to harvest from east to west in northern China. Time. At this time of year, a large number of farmers from Gansu and Shaanxi will set off in a sturdy manner on their backs and rolls of beds.

The harvesting army started from the Shandong Peninsula, and was sweating profusely along the railways and highways. They waved their sickles from Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and harvested them all the way westward, helping farmers without strong labor to harvest crops, Can earn some food and clothing for parents, wives and children at home.

Just like this, I was traveling thousands of miles, harvesting all the way west and returning to my hometown, the plump wheat ears in my field just bent the waist of the wheat straw. What awaited them was the parents' desire to see and cheer the children, and the mother rolling the rolling Good noodles.

A hardworking and brave Chinese farmer!

Northerners called them "Maike". Later, with the arrival of the wave of mechanized harvesting and the arrival of the wave of migrant work in the city, the phenomenon of "Maike" gradually disappeared in the long history of social development, but the name "Maike" still exists for a long time. In people's memories.

Compared to Maike, "Mike's father is undoubtedly happy. He has a stable salary income that is guaranteed to be born in the country. After the agricultural industry is transferred to non-agricultural work, he has become a city man and has become decent.

then--

"I worked hard to bring my wife and children out of the countryside, but I just didn't want to live a hard life, but I just didn't want my children to be a maike. But you still insist on calling my baby a maike. What do you mean? What do you think? If I can’t understand, I will go to the principal!”

The young English teacher was so amused and laughed. He quickly changed "Mike" to "Jack", and simply wanted nothing "K". He called "David" and calmed down the anger of David's father.

It's very far.

Westerners generally do not pronounce Chinese names accurately, especially if the sound of curled tongue and curled tongue sound is harder than eating shit. Many Chinese and Chinese who live in Europe all year round can't listen to themselves in order to follow the local customs. If a good Chinese name is ruined by foreigners, they will give themselves an English name or nickname to interact with others and facilitate integration into local society.

For example, Sun Yumei's nickname is Rose, which comes from the "Rose" in his Chinese name. The old stone that opens a restaurant in Milan is called "Stany", and "Stone" originally means stone.

Zhuo Yang's English name in Europe is Zhuo or Zhuo Yang.

Europeans, especially Germans, cannot make the standard sound of "Zhuo" at all. They pronounce "Zhuo Yang" sounds more like "Jiuyang". So, they say "Zhuo" is actually saying "John", and read "Zhuo" Yang is actually chanting 'John·Young'.

‘John’ is ‘John’, and ‘Young’ is ‘Yang’.

After six years of traveling to Europe, some foreigners called him "Zhuo" and some of them "Zhuo Yang". Everyone did this, which has become the consensus and official standard of the whole world. So Zhuo Yang became John and John Yang.

.This name is like Wang Hui or Zhang Jun in China, and it can be regarded as a combination of Western people.
